Wearing my Producer Hat and receiving that response to my offer of the two options, I’d likely then offer a choice between $4000/week or $3000/week + %age of the gross.

The simple fact that the actors WANTED the larger weekly figure + percentage certainly doesn’t mean that’s an available option. Of course, they want more: we ALL do.

My sense is that Producer #2 was offering a bit of risk for a possibly greater reward…an opportunity for the talent to “invest” in possibility and potential. For the actors to come back with a third, un-offered option that is outside the parameters of the first two seems simply greedy and arrogant…imho…
